Chapter 586: Carlos took on the heavy responsibility of turning against the enemy

In old Castro's manor, a very wonderful phenomenon appeared.

The hostess, Lady Ophelia, leaned on the gilded soft couch, her fingertips stroking the edge of the crystal cup, her eyes carrying a bit of playfulness: "Have you noticed? The Personal Guard Lord has been avoiding Steward Linna recently."

Wengnis was combing her waterfall-like golden hair and chuckled upon hearing this: "Isn't that so? I met them in the corridor yesterday, and the Lord turned and ran toward the garden; that speed was faster than casting a divine spell."

Isabella smiled without a word, because she knew why Linna, despite having a figure that made all men crazy, made Li Chen avoid her like a plague.

If it were any other woman, Li Chen might have already made a move.

At this moment, Li Chen was hiding in the highest tower of the castle, peeking at the silver figure in the courtyard through the crystal window.

Steward Linna was kneeling by the fountain, piously copying something.

The nun habit was dampened by the water vapor, outlining breathtaking curves, but Li Chen only felt a chill down his back.

"Sinful..." Li Chen rubbed his temples.

This morning, he just casually explained a metaphor in the "Holy Scripture," and Linna suddenly had blurred eyes, trembling all over, and the hem of her nun habit was wet; don't misunderstand, that was the holy water she knocked over in her excitement.

This kind of pure religious fanaticism was even more frightening than the most dissolute desire.

Li Chen finally understood why the Holy See could rule the Eternal Day Empire for so many years.

Fanatics like Linna were often outrageously strong, yet they were stubborn and recognized only one truth.

"My Lord." Ludwig's voice came from behind; this Cardinal changed into a simple white robe today, holding a thick notebook in his hand, "Regarding the 'If the sheep is lost, it's lost' you said yesterday, the student has had new insights."

Li Chen's mouth twitched. Since that day of the miracle in the cathedral, this old Holy See scholar had regarded himself as his student, chasing him all day to discuss the doctrine.

Even more terrifying was that no matter what nonsense Li Chen said, Ludwig could interpret a set of profound theories.

He even annotated some of Li Chen's insights in the Bible.

"Stop!" Li Chen raised his hand to stop the old bishop's endless talking, "I have important matters to deal with today."

Ludwig immediately retreated respectfully to the side: "Is it about exterminating the Blood Demon Society heretics? The student heard Steward Carlos mention it; do you need the student to accompany you?"

This point was Carlos's idea, because Carlos's purpose was to make the President Mordred die without a burial place, so that the blood contract on him could be eliminated.

In order for the plan to be thorough, Carlos personally laid out the layout and supplemented many plans.

In other words, with the preparations of the Lilith sisters and Veronica, dealing with Mordred would certainly be full of loopholes.

Mordred had so many stewards under him, and he himself was not very pure, so it was easy to discover clues.

Just like the Lilith sisters, when they were preparing to turn against the enemy, they were discovered by Carlos.

But after the Lilith sisters gave up, Carlos took on the heavy responsibility of turning against the enemy.

He had been a high-level member of the Blood Demon Society for so many years, one of the few who did things properly; Mordred also trusted him very much, and he had the ability.

So he did it, which was certainly better than the Lilith sisters.

Just like what Mordred's ability was, what escape methods he might have, the exact location he appeared, how to avoid the traps set by Mordred.

Carlos had studied all of this, and for the sake of insurance, when he learned that the old Cardinal Ludwig was present, he also passed the information to him. With two Sage Realm experts taking action, his own Guild President was basically no different from being sentenced to death.

In order not to let Mordred know that there would also be a Cardinal coming, Carlos also indicated to Mordred that he would trick Li Chen over alone.

The most important point, and also the point the Lilith sisters didn't think of, was that Carlos had told Li Chen that Mordred knew the True Word Spell; if he let him speak, it would be very troublesome.

In fact, Mordred didn't know it at all; Carlos said so just because he was afraid that after Mordred knew he had been tricked, he would speak and drag Carlos and the Lilith sisters into the water, wouldn't that be dead for sure.

So his statement was to let Li Chen destroy him before Mordred could speak. ===== CHAPTER 587 =====
